Description

The Rigid Axle Gear and Limited Slip Posi Package offers a comprehensive upgrade for the rear differential in 1999-2008 GM 8.5"/8.6" 10-bolt applications. This all-in-one kit includes a clutch-style limited-slip positraction carrier, a choice of ring and pinion gear ratios, and a complete master bearing installation kit. The positraction carrier is built with a strong forged steel case and utilizes carbon fiber and steel friction plates for reliable and smooth traction, suitable for daily drivers, towing, off-road use, and street/strip applications. The package also includes heat-treated 8620 steel ring and pinion gears, available in various ratios, manufactured using either a quiet two-cut, face hobbed process or a five-cut, face milled process for optimal gear pattern. Important considerations for installation include the requirement of non-synthetic GL-5 gear oil and the use of a friction modifier. This package does not fit 1999+ models equipped with drum brakes. Proper break-in procedures for the new gear set are also crucial and instructions are provided separately. This package is compatible with a wide range of GM, GMC, Isuzu, and Saab vehicles from 1999 to 2008, including models like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Cadillac Escalade, and Hummer H3. Please verify specific fitment for your vehicle's axle and brake type.
